How long is a typical Suffolk County dumpster rental period?: A 7 to 10-day rental period is pretty standard, although this can vary by dumpster rental company. Most companies will charge a fee for each day you have the container over the allowed time limit. So, be sure to ask how long you have the dumpster for.

Sometimes, you just need the dumpster longer than expected. Most companies will allow you to keep the container longer by paying a “late fee,” which typically ranges from $25 to $50 per day.
